dangerweenie Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 hi! would anyone know where to start with modeling something like this? https://www.shapeways.com/product/JUND48994/3d-400mm-orb-of-life-3d-flower-of-life?optionId=40619997&li=marketplace seems like a copySOP to create a new circle curve at every intersecting point, but how to get the curve to adhere to the surface of the underlying sphere? thanks in advance! matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobini Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 well if the underlying surface is just a sphere...then that 'conform' step is actually the easiest step to do... Here....now the hard part is to workout the underlying template points pattern to get you the desired pattern. (note: if you observe the model in the link...it's not 'uniform' throughout.....rotate it in 3D and you'll see it's actually symmetrical, ie. 2 hemispheres) vu_RingOrb.hipnc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
